I do really like STEEP.. but there are a few "problems" that bug me in this official release version..
1: The graphics didn't seem to improve from the Beta.. shadow/level of detail/draw distances are still pretty low and this LoD transition pixelization is quite noticeable, on Ultra.
2: Missing/no Skilifts at all, perhaps this is a bug that slipped into the full release? so far i couldn't see any skilifts/gondolas.. and are they even working or just static? if they're static i'm really dissapointed.
3: Equipment which seem to be just for decoration.. or are there actual avalanches to dig ourselves out and climbable icy mountains for the pickaxes?
Your thoughts on this?
Graphics seems fine to me.Originally Posted by CatherineCat93 Go to original post
The game never mentioned anything about Ski lifts.... soooooo don't really care for those, I can just press B.....
All those items are decorations..... that why they are under... decorations...
Don't try and no mans sky this game. They haven't miss sold this game and they never said there would be those things.
Well, sorry for posting MY opinion/thoughts of things that are not so good in my eyes and personal experience. Good for you that you don't care about such things, i'm sure others do.
I'm in no way trying to no mans sky this game, i simply expected those things to be there, it would make sense to eventually include Skilifts & Gondolas, or working pickaxe/shovel/extended sticks in a Wintersports game. I'm just wondering why those accesoires even exist, except for cosmetic purposes.
It may leave hope for an update to make them useful. Shaun White Snowboarding had working Skilifts, just for comparsion. But that game wont run anymore, so there's only STEEP left. Oh and throwing snowballs at others would also be fun.
Well that's what expectations do. I can't vouch for your graphics as you are probably PC and not console. What would a ski lift do in this game for us players? It's not like there's just one park in the whole game with a ski lift near by. A bug? lol.
And your snowball suggestion sounds great, but first time I've heard the suggestion. There are also others who had expectations that the tools/deco would have any real use, and again... I don't think there are going to be too many vertical faces that your going to want to ice pick your way up when you can just respawn or walk around.
Avalanches, that too, another great suggestion. But in an open multiplayer world how would that work? Would the avalanche break in that region at certain times, when 3 or more players approach it?
I'm sure a lot of these discussions came up during developer meetings and were tossed to focus on other mechanics of the game.
Along with many others, my biggest gripe would be no snowmobiles (which again I think succeeds the need for a ski lift or ice pick).
Thank you for your torough and useful informative answer, gnarlyDUCK! i really appreciate it and sort of agree with your points. I'm on PC yes, and maybe just expecting a bit too much of the Graphics i guess. I'm trying to get ReShade to work so i can use Depth of Field to mask the Level of Detail Pop-ins hopefully a bit. I kinda wish ini tweaks could work but unfortunately they don't.. and Snowballs are just a must have, it would be so much fun!
Ubi will add sleds though, instead of snowmobiles.. would be cool if they added both. And about the "bug", in the beta and also latest trailer i saw Gondolas/Skilifts, but in the full version so far none, i presume i didn't run into one yet. I'm really enjoying the game alot, and it's the first one in years i paid fullprice for.
Sleds and other new sports are coming in our future DLCs. The gold edition includes the season pass which gives you all the DLCs for the season but DLC's and the season pass can be purchased individually even without the gold edition. If you want more information about the season pass updates you can check out our season pass faq.
Will do! I know there's been a bit of buzz around those things and the team is aware of many of the community's great ideas and suggestions. Today is our big opening day but we plan on releasing many great updates and new features in the future, so hold tight!Originally Posted by CatherineCat93 Go to original post![]()
